Love movies

Sudden thought!
XM and his uncle keep talking about their piece of land outside Shanghai and that XM has some specific plans for that land. Do you think that land will become “The Ideal City”?

I really hope you are right. I'm still on ep 36 so X my fingers :-)

Crusty uncle! I was trying to think of. worse name for him. XM has to be always getting Crusty out of trouble.

Excellent put!

thank you! I'm up to Ep 21 and it seems like it is getting better for her. What horrible things she had to put up with.

I agree, not interested in the romance (first time in my watching history) but the plot is non-stop riveting. Yah, if she ends up with him, that's ok too.

I am up to Ep 11 and I really like this series. One woman against a group of cohorts who rule the development of the city. Sometimes I fast forward parts that I don't like on other dramas but not this one. No, not missing one single frame! The prejudice against this one woman is legend. I hope the rest of it is as good.
C-dramas are also educational too. Who knew about the cement issue? Who knew about the biotech issue? C-dramas are covering these topics from fashion to cement! There is a bit of flag waving but I ignore it.

He is excellent in Navillera. Still somewhat spacey acting *wide-eyed" but what an attention getter, wow! Both young and old were represented well on the drama.

Sorry for sticking your neck out! I agree with you on all aspects. Acting great, music, really cute, you saw the same side as I saw. The story was not the normal K-drama, thank goodness. And the leads finally grew up!

Lots and lots of 'steam' in more than one episode :-)

I would try it again. It was so different from the K-dramas/C-dramas. Just turn the sound down when she speaks....but seriously, she improves a lot.

Yes, she was so annoying at first, with the little voice and childlike behavior etc. But toward the end she was much better. He was exquisite! Not too many episodes but you might want to try it again, sweet ending. I like j-dramas, short too.

I really liked Renn Kiriyama in Love is Phantom. Great J-Drama.

I don’t think that most viewers that objected to the ending may not have made that connection that the ML and FL reached a new level of maturity. I loved the ending and the small epilogue.

I know what you mean. I watched the last episode. His acting had so much empathy from viewers. We really feel the pain don't we!

Look him up on Youtube and you'll feel so much better. You'll see see him dance, sing. Such a sweetheart, he is. I felt so much better after the disastrous ending of Broker. He's alive on Youtube!!!

I posted my own comment, similar to what you posted above. Basically, She had tremendous insecurities about her art, relationships etc. After her finished art was accepted, it gave her a big ego boost. I liked the ending. Why not? After going through a lot of turmoil, they turned into real people, enjoying themselves. You said it well, better than what I said on a separate post. Thank you!

In reading all the comments, I feel there is another side. Throughout the drama, Na Bi was very insecure about herself, her art, her relationships with other people, she was pretty listless throughout the drama.
It wasn't until Jae Eon came into the picture: handsome, talented, flirt. There was a strong sexual attraction and I didn't see anything wrong with that.

Finally, after her art piece broke into pieces and Jae Eon helped her put it back together, she was finally able to show the audience that she really was a pretty good artist. At that point her low esteem started building up and at the same time, her romance with Do Hyuk was going nowhere, she and Jae Eon finally got together with both building up their self esteem and a genuine like for one another.

There was a big lack of communication.

However, all in all, even though the ML/FL were the only ones I was interested in, I thought it didn't have a lot of tropes and didn't have the standard K-Drama so called "purity."

I loved the OST also. It's 2021, things change, even writers take a stab at a change.

He did as best as he could. The role was difficult, script not easy. There are interviews of him on Youtube and they are very interesting. One in particular where he tours his native town in China. Interesting man.

Yes, it was a very difficult role to play for LL in Broker. He had to play a depressed, anxious, ready to be discovered person, probably different from his real life.
However, having said that, I feel that any ML playing with Vittoria Song is at a loss. She, again IMO, sucks the air out of the room! She is beautiful, tall, extremely intense and anyone trying to play the ML is up against it.

I loved LL in Love is Sweet but I agree with you that he should play different roles. From what I read, he is a professional dancer and as such that talent can be used in many different ways.

Thanks for your comments ShengJiang!
